  • Strange one that, but governments release strongly worded press releases all the time. Mostly not aimed at the general public. The Senate Foreign Relations committee can say shit that the Biden administration never would.

    Also, side note, not being from the east coast I never understood the long-standing nostalgia for all things Irish. My perception has always been that it's very much a NY / Chicago / Boston thing that seems to have persisted. Most of those claiming with Irish heritage are 4-5 generations beyond that and probably couldn't find it on a world map anyway. It is particularly bad in Boston. They forget that during the potato famine, Irish immigrants to the US were utterly vilified.

  • Totally. It's a North America thing, tbf. True for Scots ancestry as well.

    (And at least you can't "like" press releases)
